Whether you're RDI or IDI, there's no arguing that the perp selected weapons.
Although the weapons that were found by the police could have been mere staging, they are nonetheless weapons.
As a standalone item, the garrote has various potentials as a weapon is concerned. Regardless as to whether or not it was always just a prop, its potential is still remarkably high.
In the hands of an adult, the garrote could restrict air temporarily or permanently, and at maximum potential cause severe injury to the neck of a victim. It can also cause injury by poking, with its sharpened ends.
The second weapon is the second ligature. As a standalone, its potential has a wide range. It obviously included provision for limbs, possibly as many as three or even four. Its application is not understood by many, and is open to specultation even 10 years later. Maximizing the potential of this weapon has a person's limbs fully restrained.
The third weapon that was possibly at the crime scene is a combination garrote-second ligature weapon that fully restrains, where any limb movement translates to an air restriction.
The fourth weapon widely considered possible is whatever was used to cause the injury to JBR's skull. Perhaps a baseball bat, flashlight, or some other object.
The fifth weapon that is considered possible at the crime scene is a stun-gun or taser. This weapon has the potential of paralyzing the victim for a period of time.
